The Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet is a superb collection of patterns that show off fancy edgings, captivating stitch patterns and fabulous shapes. Traced back to the early 16th century, curiosity cabinets came about as a way to display all of the new wonders of the world that were being discovered and explored, and included everything from plants and fossils to gems, coins, and illustrations. Much like the curiosity cabinets of the past, Hunter uses vintage botanical illustrations to create her own knitter's curiosity cabinet. Each of the illustrated botanical prints served as the inspiration for each of the projects and led to two patterns each - one for a pair of socks and one for something else entirely. Immerse yourself in the history of curiosity cabinets and botanical prints as you work your way through 20 patterns that include socks, fingerless mitts, hats, shawls, and cowls. Filled with rich and vibrant colors, beautiful botanical prints and stunning photography, The Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet is sure to catch your eye and inspire you to expand your own curiosity cabinet.
